GENERAL  INFORMATION 


History  of  School 

Frostburg  became  the  home  of  Maryland’s  second  Normal  school  be¬ 
cause  the  people  of  the  town  for  several  years  previous  to  1898  kept  alive  a 
continuous  agitation  that  such  an  institution  be  established  and  by  an  act 
of  the  Maryland^Legislature  1898,  passed  through  the  efforts  of  Hon.  James 
Campbell  of  Barton,  and  Hon.  David  E.  Dick  of  Lonaconing,  $25,000  was 
appropriated  for  the  erection  of  a  building  at  Frostburg  to  be  known  as 
State  Normal  School  No.  2,  subject  to  the  proviso  that  the  people  of  Frost¬ 
burg  furnish  the  site  and  convey  the  same  to  the  State. 

The  site  purchased  was^a  beautiful  park  on  East  Loo  street  in  the  center 
of  which  the  main  building  was  erected  during  1901. 

On  September  I5th.  1902,  the  doors  of  the  school  were  opened  to  students 
for  the  first  time  Three  classes  were  formed:  Freshman,  Sophomore,  Junior. 
Full  work  began  on  the  18th.  with  the  organization  of  primary  classes  in  the 
Model  Department.  This  was  accomplished  through  the  co-operation  of  the 
Board  of  School  Commissioners  for  Allegany  County,  who  transferred 
pupils  and  teachers  from  the  Beall  School  to  the  Normal. 

Course  Of  Study 

The  Course  of  Study  begins  in  the  Freshman  year  with  a  careful  review 
of  the  major  subjects  of  the  Common-School  branches,  presented  from  both 
the  professional  and  the  academic  viewpoint— thus  affording  a  two-fold  ad- 
vantage  to  the  student.  The  study  of  the  theory  and  the  art  of  teaching 
begins  in  the  Junior  year  and  continues  throughout  the  course.  In  addition, 
students  will  be  required  before  graduation  to  do  observation  and  practice 
work  in  the  Training  School  for  at  least  one  hour  a  day,  for  not  less  than’"  20 
weeks,  during  the  last  vear.  This  is  the  keystone  in  the  arch  which  Mary¬ 
land  expects  her  Normal  Schools  to  build. 

Tuition;  Board;  Scholarships 

Tuition  is  free  to  those  taking  the  Professional  Course.  Books  will  be 
furnished  free  to  all  students.  Board  may  be  obtained  near  the  school  at 
about  four  dollars  ($4.00)  a  week.  Letters  to  the  principal  on  these  sub¬ 
jects  will  receive  prompt  attention. 

Certificates;  Diplomas 

Upon  graduation  a  diploma  will  be  granted— entitling  the  holder  to 
teach  in  the  schools  of  Maryland.  After  the  expiration  of  two  years  of 
successful  work  and  upon  fulfilment,  of  certain  conditions,  the  seal  of  the 
State  Board  of  Education  is  affixed,  and  the  diploma  becomes  a  life  certifi¬ 
cate. 


The  Training  School 

This  department  is  in  charge  of  scholarly  and  experienced  teachers. 
Work  begins  with  the  primary  grades,  and  every  opportunity  is  afforded  for 
observation  and  practice  under  expert  direction.  Primary  manual  training, 
in  correlation  with  other  work,  is  an  integral  factor. 

This  department  consists  of  a  school  of  eight  grades  housed  in  a  new 
model  school  building,  secured  through  the  efforts  of  the  Hon.  Frank  G. 
Metzger  of  Frostburg,  a  member  of  the  Legislature  of  1912. 

The  new  model  school  is  equipped  with  a  splendid  gymnasium  for  the  us^ 
of  Normal  school  pupils.

FUTURE 

The  future  of  every  institution  must  be  judged  by  its 
past.  Like  a  tree  it  is  known  by  its  fruits.  Thus  far  the 
Frostburg  State  Normal  School  has  given  to  Maryland  a  type 
of  graduates  of  which  the  State  may  well  be  proud,  for  they 
have  won  success  in  every  field  in  which  their  labors  have 
been  called.  By  their  examples  and  high  ideals  they  are 
leading  the  youth  of  the  State  into  a  higher  and  nobler  con¬ 
ception  of  true  womanhood  and  manhood.
